OTOH, if there is any feeling that IPv6 WILL happen - and I know that
many whom I respect, including Marcus Ranum and Mike O'Dell, are not at
all sure about this - then it makes sense to start laying the ground
for it, rather than sticking to things that will be obsolete when the
revolution comes.  And the US DOD seems to be spear-heading this
particular revolution, eh?  [No, you do NOT have to remind me of OSI
networking and ADA.  ;-)]
